Please read the chip usage instructions in the event handbook carefully, or follow the assistance of on-site staff. Official results announced by the organizer shall prevail.

Please do not wear two or more bibs, or exchange chip bibs with others, as this may cause the chip to fail and make results impossible to calculate. This is a violation of the competition rules, and offenders will be disqualified and their results will not be counted.
(4)
The timing chip is the basis for result recording. Please make sure to pass through all timing checkpoints. The organizer will not be responsible for missing results caused by failure to use the chip according to regulations.
(5)
Participants should assess their own ability and avoid rushing or crowding. Please demonstrate sportsmanship and allow stronger runners to start first.
(6)
Please assemble and start at the designated time. The organizer reserves the right to disqualify participants who start early or more than 10 minutes after the official start time, and no results will be provided.
(7)
Within three days after the race, an electronic finisher certificate will be proactively emailed to participants who complete the race within the time limit. Please be sure to fill in your email address accurately. Participants may also download it from the website.

▶ How Should You Take Energy Gels During an AsiaYo Full/Half Marathon?
AsiaYo's runner tips on energy gel timing:
- Energy gels are the most common and effective on-course fuel for half and full marathons, helping runners maintain blood sugar and stave off fatigue during long-distance running.
- A good rule of thumb: take one gel about 30 minutes before the race, then keep it consistent with another gel roughly every 45 minutes (or every 10K) during the race.
- Always wash it down with water to avoid stomach upset, nausea, or diarrhea — and skip pairing it with sports drinks, which can push your sugar intake too high.
- If you're using caffeinated gels, save them for the back half of the race (around the last 7K of a half, or after 30K in a full) for a boost in focus and to fight fatigue — don't rely on them the whole way through.
▶ Where Are the Hotels in the Marathon Packages Located — Are They Close to the Start/Finish Line?
AsiaYo's marathon package hotel selection strategy puts runners first. Here's what we prioritize:
- Hotels near the start or finish line, so you don't have to wake up in the dark before the race and can get back to rest quickly afterward.
- Transit hubs (like near subway stations or train stations), making it easy to get to the Expo or explore the city.
- Some races offer an early-morning race-day shuttle as an add-on — and we make sure our hotels are located close to those shuttle pickup points whenever possible!

By booking the "AsiaYo Runner Accommodation Package", AsiaYo can handle your Taiwan marathon race entry registration, round-trip HSR tickets, and quality hotel booking all together — working out cheaper than booking each item separately with added fees.

▶ How Many Nights Do You Typically Stay for AsiaYo's Taiwan Marathon Trips?
AsiaYo's marathon packages mostly offer a 2-day, 1-night trip, including a stay the night before the race or on race day itself. If you'd like to extend your trip, you can also book extra hotel nights — the itinerary is highly flexible.
▶ What's Typically Included in AsiaYo's Taiwan Marathon/Road Race Travel Packages?
The AsiaYo Taiwan Marathon Travel Package typically includes:

- Optional add-ons for round-trip HSR tickets or discounted airport transfers
- At least one night's stay at a handpicked hotel near the race venue

▶ When Booking an AsiaYo Marathon Package, Is the Hotel Close to the Starting Line? Is There a Shuttle?
For AsiaYo's road race packages, accommodation is prioritized to be as close to the starting line as possible, with hotels near a train station or shuttle pickup point as the next best option — ensuring runners can get to the venue conveniently, smoothly, and safely.
▶ Booking an AsiaYo Marathon + Hotel Package — Will the Hotel Offer an "Early Breakfast" or "Boxed Meal" on Race Day?
For Taiwan marathon stays, breakfast timing generally follows the hotel restaurant's actual operating hours. If your race check-in time is earlier than that, we recommend runners bring their own appropriately portioned breakfast or snack.

▶ Running in Spring Rain or Plum Rain Season — How Do You Keep Your Shoes and Gear Dry?
We recommend running shoes built with GORE-TEX waterproofing technology, or spraying a waterproof spray on your shoes before race day. Wearing wool-blend running socks also helps prevent blisters caused by moisture and friction.
